Summer Menu

We wash, clean, and cut the vegetables according to preference. This operation can be done in steps to avoid downtime in the kitchen. It is recommended to prepare the vegetables in the exact order they will be added to the pan to ensure even cooking. We start by washing the potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and onion. After cleaning them, we cut the potatoes into cubes, the carrots into rounds, the bell pepper into thin strips, and the onion into julienne.

In a large pan, we heat the oil. When it is hot enough, we add the potatoes, followed by the carrots, bell pepper, and onion. It is important to steam and fry them sufficiently so that the vegetables become crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This process will take a few minutes, and to achieve a perfect texture, we stir occasionally. We season with salt and pepper to taste, adding a few sprigs of fresh thyme to enhance the aroma. After the vegetables are cooked, we keep them warm by covering the pan with a lid until we are ready to serve.

While the vegetables are cooking, we take care of the salad and sausages. We start by washing the lettuce leaves, onion greens, and cucumbers well, letting them drain. We cut the onion greens into thin rings, the cucumbers into small pieces, and chop the lettuce evenly with a knife. If you prefer, tougher lettuce can be torn by hand for a more rustic texture. We add salt and olive oil, mixing well in the salad bowl. For an attractive appearance, we garnish the salad with fresh basil leaves, adding a touch of freshness.

As for the sausages, we cut them into suitable pieces and fry them in hot oil until golden and crispy. They will add a savory and hearty flavor to the dish. Once all elements are ready, we serve the warm vegetables, garnishing them with melted smoked cheese, which will provide a pleasant contrast of flavors. Enjoy your meal! This simple and delicious recipe promises to delight the taste buds of everyone who tries it, turning an ordinary meal into a memorable culinary experience.
